Welcome to Year 4

We have had a brilliant first few days back at school, getting to know the routines of our new classrooms, and setting the expectations for the year. We have started our new class book 'The Legend of Podkin One Ear' by local author Kieran Larwood and began our English topic based on the text 'Arthur and the Golden Rope' by Joe Todd-Stanton. The children have had great fun making up scary sentences to describe the ferocious wolf that features in the book and have even had a go at reading them aloud to their classmates… Below you can see some pictures of us acting like the wolf to help our writing!

In maths, the children have encountered Roman Numerals, and enjoyed working out some tricky questions using their knowledge. Can you ask your child what number is being represented here?

This week in English, the children have been hard at work editing their Fenrir descriptive paragraphs and even using the laptops to publish their work.   They had to brush up on their typing skills, but after a few reminders on how to use the space button they were away! We then put there descriptions into an AI image generator to create amazing pictures to go with their writing. Take a look at it in action.

Christmas Production

  Music This week, year 4 took a break from their space topic  in music to look at something very exciting... BAH HUMBUG! Yes, I know it's only September, but in music we have already started looking at our Christmas production for December. The children enjoyed sharing what they already know about the traditional A Christmas Carol or any Scrooge adaptations that they have either read or watched.  Next, we spent our time listening to the songs that they will need to know by December. We even started learning one of them, so I apologise if they have come home singing Bah Humbug already.  More information to follow in the next few weeks about the Christmas production!
